Daigo invades europe

Orim

V-deck and roogle have signed up.

Great numbers considering how small fighting games have been in Ireland up until the last year or so.

chunkis

this is just the beginning

chopperbyrne

Sweet. That's ten and eleven if Mike goes too.

In person pestering FTW!!!!

I have booked a room earlier for five and the first four to get back to me were Doom, Chunkis, Ry and Jim.

The rest of you can book a room for yourselves.

No, nothing when booking, but it looks like the card might get charged the full amount the day before arrival. I sent them an email to clarify and I'll let everyone know what the craic is when they reply.

I assume rest of us (Me, You, Dreddy, V-deck, and Roogle) can all grab a room together. We'll have to see whether any others (Newtype?) and see what roogle and V-deck say.

Is anyone checking luggage? Or is everyone just bringing a carry-on?

Jim

Carry on for me. Luggage is for Farzad.

chopperbyrne

I'm checking in one bag and bringing my stick in my backpack as carry on.

Ry

Ramza

Last time I brought my xbox on a plane was when I was moving back to Dub from England. Had to pay £70 overweight charges!

Xinkai

I'm just taking a carry on.

What i was thinking is since we seem to be splitting into 2 groups of 5, if 1 person chooses to check in luggage, say a half full bag, everyone else can throw something into it & pay a share of the check in fee.

I'm only on a 3v card so i can't do the hotel after seeing what chopper said.

I'll also have to get another card to pre-reg for the games too, totally forgot about that part. What games are you all taking part in anyways?

For me it'll be:

BlazBlue (Priority)
GGXX 3V3 If I Can Find A Team.
3s 3V3 If I Can Find A Team.
SF4 Solo
SF4 2V2 If I Can Get Daigo As A Partner :pac:

Jasus, I was going to bring my mine but 70 quid? :eek: Although with 10 of us then it's not that much if we do need to pay for overweight.

On the otherhand, how often do they weigh carry-ons?

This is why I can never make a decision. I'll bring my xbox and to hell with the consquences.

chopperbyrne

Xinkai, you can transfer funds directly from your bank account to your paypal account. Just takes 2-3 business days.

I was just wondering about the luggage so I can get someone to bring a screwdriver for me. I really need to find a way to get my stick perma-connected.

Also you don't need a card to pre-reg. You just put your name down and then you can pay cash when we're there.

As someone who worked for airline security for 2 long, boring years i can tell you now screwdrivers are a no no in aviation. Best bet were gonna be staying in a town just pick one up over there?

Also cheers for the pre-reg thing i didn't know.


OH MY GOD THERES ANOTHER ONE!!! Just looking at the entrants for the KoF2002UM....

20 Dr DOOMS

YOU MEAN THERES ANOTHER?!
As if 1 wasn't bad enough

It's a fiver extra per tournament if you pay on the day and you ARE NOT GUARANTEED your tournament spot.

Also, it's five days lads. Clothes for five days/nights and a stick in just carry on luggage?

A screwdriver can be put in checked in luggage with no hassle surely?

Orim

I would of thought the screwdriver in checked baggage would be no issue.

Cheers for the info chopper, now I'll have to go and try to get my paypal account working. You can fit a lot in a decent carry-on bag though.

chunkis

guys listen up,

try not to check in any bags and dont bring any hard cases of any kind, ryan air will charge you 40 euros per journey if your hard case doesn`t fit into the slim baskets they have at the departure gate, they are very strict these days and are pulling people out of the lines and charging them on the spot, so don`t bring any hard cases.

Also checking in a bag adds a lot to the cost of the flight and it wastes a lot of time at the airport, on a short trip like this you don`t want to lose your luggage, so its best to just carry on hand luggage.

I am travelling with a large sports bag, that will fit a TE stick and all my clothes, i suggest everybody do the same. Also don`t pack anything over 100 mils, no shaving creams, no aftershave or anything over 100 mil or your gonna lose it.

I will post up a little guide a few days before we leave so everybody is on the same page.

chopperbyrne

Myself and Doom have already paid to check in one bag each. We're luggage snobs.

We appear to have plenty of time between flights so the short delay won't be too much hassle.

I'll also assume that the baggage handlers will once again do their job properly and my bag won't go missing.

chunkis

Chopper have you already paid for your bags to be checked in? Checking in a bag with ryan air is 30 euros if you booked it online, if you check in on the day its more, the same with easyjet, my advice to everybody is to carry hand luggage only, especially since we are taking two separate flights.

Xinkai

Chillax Chunkis lol. Start worrying about that crap 4 days before we go.

Doctor DooM

aint no way I'm fitting 5 days clothes toiletries towels and a fightstick under weight and undersize for Ryanair carry on.

chunkis

well it looks like your carrying my shaving cream for me

That works for me if the Norn lads are cool with it.

chopperbyrne

Yeah, already paid for checked in luggage.
